Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - What kind of kick@$$ are YOU??
This book caught me off guard, as I had never read anything by these authors. I enjoyed how the stories were arranged. I immediately shared it with a friend.

Bride had tender, touching moments with some heart-stopping moments of fear.

Boo was scary and laugh-out-loud funny with undeniable heat.

WarFem was raw and emotional. It kept me reading and hoping for the best in a new world where women ruled, sometimes harshly and cruelly.

Painkillers was a perfect story to read on a snowy day. The details of the scenery and intrigue warmed me and made me blush a little.

Every girl should have a knight in shining armor.
Every woman should know to rely on her own instincts and strength.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Nice Blend of Stories
This was a very enjoyable book. The stories were mostly engaging and enjoyable. I always enjoy books like this because usually they give me the opportunity to "vet" new authors and this one was no exception! These are all great and very different stories with strong female warrior women. Enjoy!



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Kick A$$
I'm a big MJD fan. However, beware. All three writers are off in this one. Still a must read for hard core fans, but don't get your hopes up that it will be very good.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Are they men or mice? squeak...
I usually love these authors, but this collection is a boring read. Just because the woman is strong, doesn't mean the hero needs to be a wimp. I did enjoy Ms. Knight's story, where the hero and heroine truly worked together, but the rest of the stories needed a shot of testosterone.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Four Entertaining Stories about Tough Ladies and their Yummy Men
I rather enjoyed the four short stories in KICK ASS, an anthology featuring romances between tough women and tougher men.

In "The Bride Wore a .44" by Maggie Shayne, the heroine has lost her memory and is about to get married to a fiancé she doesn't remember when a roguish wedding planner and well-armed thugs crash the wedding. I enjoyed the tension of discovering Kira's past with her and trying to figure out who were the good guys and who were the bad. She also had great chemistry with the wedding planner.

In "The Incredible Misadventures of Boo and the Boy Blunder" by Mary Janice Davidson, an albino vampire hunter acquires an annoying sidekick and falls for a vampire all in one night. It's a cute, funny story with good repartee between the three main characters - plus it brings us back into Davidson's hilarious vampire world very first introduced in UNDEAD AND UNWED. If I had any complaint, it is that it was too short.

In "Warfem" by Angela Knight, we revisit the world of genetically engineered warriors from JANE'S WARLORD to watch love blossom between ex-lovers with secrets. While it was an entertaining story, I was a little put off by the fact that 20 years had gone by since the lovers had last seen one another and they were now in their 40s (which is too old for me). I also thought it was a little too heavy on extraneous sex scenes.

In "Painkillers" by Jacey Ford, a supermodel and her CIA agent partner run around a Caribbean island trying to prevent a coup d'etat and end up falling for each other. At very first I thought it was a pretty cheesy story, but the more I read, the more I enjoyed. The characters actually mature in this story, which is something you rarely see. Plus, the action-adventure in this story was the most realistic out of all four stories, and the heroine was the most normal of the bunch, so she was easiest to relate to and enjoy. I am actually not partial to girls who kick ass (Davidson's vampire story was the reason I bought this anthology), so having a normal (non-kick ass) heroine was nice.

Again, I enjoyed all these stories, and would recommend them to readers interested in romance with a bit of supernatural and sci-fi thrown in.
